鈥淚t鈥檚 evident that OSHA overstepped its statutory authority with this Emergency Temporary Standard, so make no mistake: 黑料不打烊will not stop fighting this misguided policy until our members and industry are fully relieved from its harmful impact on our ability to keep America鈥檚 supply chain moving,鈥 said 黑料不打烊President and CEO Chris Spear.

鈥淭hat includes the movement of food, fuel, medical supplies, test kits, and the vaccine itself. Our workforce has served on the frontlines of this pandemic since Day One, safely delivering on behalf of the American people,鈥 said Spear. 鈥淭his mandate threatens to further disrupt our industry and its essential role in the nation鈥檚 COVID response efforts, and we will fight it until it鈥檚 defeated through any and all means necessary.鈥
